Christina Aguilera | Genius @TheRealXtina About Christina Aguilera Christina María Aguilera (born December 18, 1980) is an American singer-songwriter, record producer and actress. Born in Staten Island, New York and raised in Wexford, Pennsylvania, she made her first publicity appearances on television shows as a child, including on Star Search and The Mickey Mouse Club. In 1998, Aguilera signed a contract with RCA Records after recording “Reflection” for Mulan. A year later, Aguilera debuted her self-titled debut studio album, which gained international success and spawned three number-one hits, “Genie in a Bottle”, “What a Girl Wants” and “Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)”. Her two next studio albums, Mi Reflejo (2000) and My Kind of Christmas (2001), were certified triple platinum and achieved moderate success worldwide Popular Christina Aguilera songs Christina Aguilera on Apple Music To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play.

Biography A leader in the parade of Mickey Mouse Club veterans who stormed pop at the turn of the millennium, Christina Aguilera was the sexy, brassy diva of the bunch -- the Rolling Stones to Britney Spears' Beatles, as it were. Initially, it was difficult to see Christina outside of the prism of Britney, whose 1999 success launched the new millennium's teen pop boom, but Christina's big hits of 1999 -- "Genie in a Bottle," "What a Girl Wants," "Come on Over" -- more than held their own with "...Baby One More Time," while revealing a vocalist with considerably more power and range than her erstwhile rival. Soon, Aguilera distanced herself from the rest of the teen pop pack beginning with her carnal sophomore set, Stripped, a heavy R&B album from 2002 that found its greatest success with the ballad "Beautiful." Christina may have overemphasized her sexual side with singles like "Dirrtty," but by the time of 2006's Back to Basics, it was clear that Aguilera was the most musically ambitious, and reliable, pop diva of the boom.

Born on Staten Island on December 18, 1980, Aguilera spent her early childhood in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. By age six, she began performing regularly in local talent shows, working her way to an appearance on the nationally televised competition Star Search. This was the true beginning of Aguilera's professional career, leading her to joining Disney Channel's reboot of The Mickey Mouse Club in 1992. Christina joined a cast that also featured future stars Britney Spears, Ryan Gosling, Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, and Keri Russell. The New Mickey Mouse Club lasted for two years and after its cancellation, Aguilera began working behind the scenes of the pop machine, cutting a duet with Japanese pop singer Keizo Nakanishi called "All I Wanna Do," then representing the U.S. three years later in the Golden Stag International Festival. Her first big break arrived in 1998, when she recorded "Reflection" for the soundtrack of Disney's Mulan, a performance that led to a contract with RCA Records.

RCA released Christina Aguilera late in the summer of 1999, several months after Britney's "...Baby One More Time" began the teen pop boom. Christina's debut reached the top of the U.S. charts on the momentum of the number one single "Genie in a Bottle," which was followed in short order by another chart-topper in "What a Girl Wants," which happened to be the first number one of 2000. Aguilera racked up recognition in a number of ways, playing the Superbowl halftime show and winning the Grammy for Best New Artist, as "Come on Over Baby (All I Want Is You)" gave her a third number one single. Aguilera kept new product flowing, too, releasing the Spanish-language Mi Reflejo -- she didn't speak the language, so she learned lyrics phonetically -- and My Kind of Christmas by the end of the year, while other labels attempted to cash in on her success via an unauthorized collection of old demos called Just Be Free.

Christina Aguilera drifted down the charts in 2001 but she stayed in the spotlight via her participation of a remake of Labelle's "Lady Marmalade" for the soundtrack of Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge. When Aguilera resurfaced with new material in 2002, she began using the appellation Xtina, which was not the only "X" on her sophomore effort, Stripped. A carnal collection of risqué R&B largely produced by Scott Storch, Stripped was a defiant break from her teenybopper past, and Aguilera promoted it by flashing lots of skin on the covers of her album, Rolling Stone, and Maxim. Such striking sexuality earned mixed reviews and the lead single "Dirrty" failed to replicate her early success, but she straightened the ship with "Beautiful," a ballad that turned into an anthem of sorts and peaked at number two on the Top 100. Aguilera took another left turn for her next album, 2006's Back to Basics. The title suggested something simple but the album was anything but, spilling out over two discs and running the gamut from brassy swing to modern dance.

Its lead single, "Ain't No Other Man," was another blockbuster and Grammy winner for Christina, and the tour was her most ambitious to date. In 2008, Aguilera released her first hits collection, Keeps Gettin' Better, which was available exclusively via Target in the U.S. After a four-year break, Aguilera returned with her fourth album, Bionic, in the spring of 2010. Bionic earned mixed reviews, with its first single, "Not Myself Tonight," peaking at 22 on the Billboard charts; the album failed to go gold. Next up was Burlesque, Aguilera's first starring role on the big screen, which was greeted to mediocre reviews and lackluster box office. Aguilera rebounded quickly when she signed onto NBC's televised singing competition The Voice.

As one of the four celebrity judges -- the others being Cee Lo Green, Blake Shelton, and Maroon 5's Adam Levine -- Christina found herself on a hit show that elevated her profile and gave her another hit single as Levine's duet partner on Maroon 5's 2011 chart-topper "Moves Like Jagger." The Voice retained its popularity in its second season in early 2012, and Aguilera spent much of the year prepping her fifth album, Lotus, which was released in November 2012. Lotus peaked at seven on the Billboard charts; its lead single, "Your Body," peaked at 34 in the Top 40. Aguilera took a leave from The Voice in 2014 and 2015, concentrating on working on her eighth studio album; she also began a recurring role on ABC's prime-time soap Nashville. In 2016, she released "Change" -- a charity single for the families of the victims of a tragic shooting in an Orlando nightclub -- and sang "Telepathy" for Baz Luhrmann's Netflix series The Get Down.

Google + It’s 1999 and pop is enjoying an imperial phase – a newcomer from across the pond has just had a massive hit, B’Witched, Boyzone, Geri and Steps are all over the Official Singles Chart and there’s a thirst for more. Following in the footsteps of Britney Spears’ huge success comes another former Mouseketeer and friendly rival – Christina Aguilera.

Anticipation for the first single by supremely talented US star Christina Aguilera was pretty high – import versions of Genie In A Bottle were sought-after and made it into the chart of their own accord. Fifteen years ago this week, however, the wait was over and the official release of the song went straight in at Number 1, knocking off Eiffel 65’s Blue (Da Ba Dee). Genie In A Bottle stayed there for two weeks until Westlife’s epic ballad Flying Without Wings swooped in and kicked Christina out of its nest. It was the first of an impressive 23 Top 40 hits for Christina. 16 of them made it into the Top 10 and three more Number 1s followed Genie In A Bottle’s impressive showing. But how do the hits line up when it comes to sales? We’ve got Christina’s Official Top 20 bestselling songs right here. Before we look at the full list, we focus on the big ones – the mega-selling Top 5.

1: Moves Like Jagger (with Maroon 5) – 2011 The song that tops them all is one that Christina may not have top billing on, but the song wouldn’t be the same without her. Getting together with fellow The Voice judge Adam Levine and his band, Moves Like Jagger spent seven weeks at Number 2, beaten to the top by six different songs, including Example, Rihanna FT Calvin Harris, Pixie Lott and One Direction. In fact, Moves Like Jagger is the second bestselling single in the history of the Official Singles Chart not to get to Number 1. It’s beaten only by Wham’s Last Christmas. SALES: 1.4 million CHART FACT: Although it never made it to Number 1, it still sold over a million copies in its first year of release and was the second biggest selling single of 2011 – just behind Adele’s Someone Like You. 2: Genie In A Bottle – 1999 The song that started it all is also up there as her biggest selling song as lead artist.

As well as its chart-topping success and establishing Christina as a big artist to watch, Genie In A Bottle also became part of one of the biggest mashups ever when combined with the Strokes’ Hard To Explain. This version was covered by Speedway who had a Top 10 hit with it in 2003. SALES: 695,000 CHART FACT: Demand was high for Genie In A Bottle, with an import version charting at Number 50. On its first week on sale, it beat nearest rival Ann Lee by 20,000 copies. On official release, the song sold almost 300,000 copies in its first two weeks on sale. 3: Lady Marmalade (with Pink, Mya, Lil Kim) – 2001 The soundtrack to Baz Lurhmann’s blockbuster movie Moulin Rouge was never going to be a quiet affair, and the racy video was the first time we’d seen Christina’s new raunchier image. Gone were the pastels and denims and sun-kissed hair – Christina 2.0 was confident, colourful and ready to rock!

And she snared her second chart-topper in the process! SALES: 560,000 CHART FACT: Lady Marmalade has been a hit three times in the UK, and has reached the summit twice! First a Number 17 hit for LaBelle in 1975, the track was covered by UK girlgroup All Saints, who released it as a double-A side with a cover of Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Under The Bridge and took it to Number 1 in 1998! 4: Dirrty – 2002 Now here’s where Christina’s new image really got people's attention! Some were shocked by Christina’s new look, but the leather chaps and unkempt hair fitted the mood of the song perfectly. Dirrty gave Christina a third Number 1 hit and was the perfect launch pad for her sophomore album Stripped, which was to send Christina’s career in a totally different direction. SALES: 360,000 CHART FACT: Dirrty’s parent album Stripped is Christina’s biggest selling album, shifting over 1.9 million copies in the UK.

5: Beautiful – 2003 Coming straight after frenzied dance track Dirrty, Beautiful felt like a response to critics of Christina’s new sound and style. The emotional ballad was an inspirational message about being true to yourself and ignoring the haters, which Christina did to dazzling effect when she took Beautiful to Number 1, toppling controversial Russian duo tATu. SALES: 355,000 CHART FACT: Christina hasn’t had a Number 1 single since Beautiful – Gareth Gates Comic Relief record Spirit In The Sky knocked her off Number 1. Other notable entries It may have only have come out late last year, but Christina’s collaboration with A Great Big World is already in her Top 10, landing in sixth slot. The track came about while Christina was a judge on the US version of The Voice, heard the original version of the song and decided she had to be a part of it! Another recent collaboration, with Mr Worldwide himself, Pitbull, scores a Top 10 placing. Feel This Moment has sold almost 300,000 copies and takes a Number 7 spot.

Candyman may not have reached the Top 10, but it’s a big fan favourite and was covered to excellent effect by Alexandra Burke in 2008’s The X Factor in her quest for pop stardom, It was a real turning point for Alex, at that point not a front-runner, and it seemed to do the trick – she eventually won! Christina’s Candyman has sold over 270,000 copies. Other collaborations making the Top 20 – a teamup with P Diddy on Tell Me (12), a heartfelt ballad with Ricky Martin at Number 13 (Nobody Wants To Be Lonely) and a memorable get-together with Missy Eilliott for the Shark Tale-themed cover of Car Wash (15). Just missing out on the Top 20 are hits like Keeps Gettin’ Better and Not Myself Tonight. The Official Top 20 Biggest Selling Christina Aguilera Singles: 2000 © 2014 The Official Charts Company.

2: Ann Lee – 2 Times Another big seller this week in 1999, shifting just over 100,000 copies, Ann was still no match for Christina's might.

Christina Aguilera | Free Internet Radio | Slacker Radio Pussycat Dolls Biography A leader in the parade of Mickey Mouse Club veterans who stormed pop at the turn of the millennium, Christina Aguilera was the sexy, brassy diva of the bunch -- the Rolling Stones to Britney Spears' Beatles, as it were.

Soon, Aguilera distanced herself from the rest of the teen pop pack beginning with her carnal sophomore set, Stripped, a heavy R&B album from 2002 that found its greatest success with the ballad "Beautiful." Christina may have overemphasized her sexual side with singles like "Dirrtty," but by the time of 2006's Back to Basics, it was clear that Aguilera was the most musically ambitious, and reliable, pop diva of the boom. Born on Staten Island on December 18, 1980, Aguilera spent her early childhood in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. By age six, she began performing regularly in local talent shows, working her way to an appearance on the nationally televised competition Star Search. This was the true beginning of Aguilera's professional career, leading her to joining Disney Channel's reboot of The Mickey Mouse Club in 1992.

In 2008, Aguilera released her first hits collection, Keeps Gettin' Better, which was available exclusively via Target in the U.S. After a four-year break, Aguilera returned with her fourth album, Bionic, in the spring of 2010. Bionic earned mixed reviews, with its first single, "Not Myself Tonight," peaking at 22 on the Billboard charts; the album failed to go gold.

Next up was Burlesque, Aguilera's first starring role on the big screen, which was greeted to mediocre reviews and lackluster box office. Aguilera rebounded quickly when she signed onto NBC's televised singing competition The Voice. As one of the four celebrity judges -- the others being Cee Lo Green, Blake Shelton, and Maroon 5's Adam Levine -- Christina found herself on a hit show that elevated her profile and gave her another hit single as Levine's duet partner on Maroon 5's 2011 chart-topper "Moves Like Jagger." The Voice retained its popularity in its second season in early 2012, and Aguilera spent much of the year prepping her fifth album, Lotus, which was released in November 2012. Lotus peaked at seven on the Billboard charts; its lead single, "Your Body," peaked at 34 in the Top 40. Aguilera took a leave from The Voice in 2014 and 2015, concentrating on working on her eighth studio album; she also began a recurring role on ABC's prime-time soap Nashville.

In 2016, she released "Change" -- a charity single for the families of the victims of a tragic shooting in an Orlando nightclub -- and sang "Telepathy" for Baz Luhrmann's Netflix series The Get Down. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Christina Aguilera | Rolling Stone artists > C > Christina Aguilera > Bio Christina Aguilera Bio Along with Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera was one of the biggest stars to emerge from the late-Nineties teen-pop explosion. Aguilera initially stood out from her fellow teen poppers thanks to her operatic, rafter-rattling voice and its huge range; later she would delve into pre-rock sounds and make attempts at adult-pop classiness in a way her contemporaries didn't. An army brat, Aguilera spent her early childhood traveling with her family from Texas to Japan to New Jersey. She began singing young, dominating the talent shows in Wexler, Pennsylvania, where she moved at age seven with her mother and sister following her parents' divorce.

Aguilera's father was abusive, a topic she's explored in songs, including "I'm OK" from 2002's Stripped, and she no longer speaks with him. In 1990, Aguilera made her first TV appearance, performing "A Sunday Kind of Love" on Star Search (she lost), and began regularly singing the national anthem at national hockey, baseball and football games in Pittsburgh. Three years later, she joined the cast of The New Mickey Mouse Club TV show, where she appeared alongside future stars Timberlake and Spears, as well as 'N Sync's JC Chasez and actors Ryan Gosling and Keri Russell, and earned the nickname "the Diva." After the show finished in 1994, Aguilera made occasional recordings, including a song, "Reflection," for the 1998 Disney film Mulan, shortly after which she was signed to RCA. "Reflection" was nominated for a Golden Globe and became an Adult Contemporary hit, hitting Number 19 on that chart, but with Christina Aguilera (Number One, 1999), the 19-year-old singer aimed for, and got, an audience closer to her own age.

The album spun off four big hits in 1999 and 2000, three of them Number Ones: "Genie in a Bottle," "What a Girl Wants" and "Come on Over Baby (All I Want Is You)," with "I Turn to You" going to Number Three. Aguilera's rendition of the Nat King Cole staple "The Christmas Song," from her holiday album, My Kind of Christmas (Number 28, 2000), went to Number 18. Aguilera also released a Latin pop album, Mi Reflejo (Number 27, 2000). A year later, Aguilera teamed up with Lil' Kim, Mya, Pink and Missy Elliott to record "Lady Marmalade" (Number One, 2001) for the Moulin Rouge soundtrack, and made a guest appearance on Ricky Martin's "Nobody Wants to Be Lonely" (Number 13, 2001).

With Stripped (Number Two, 2002), Aguilera reversed her good-girl image by adopting a hot-and-horny persona that initially led to public ridicule and the album's lead single, "Dirrty," accompanied by an aggressively raunchy video, stalled at Number 48. But Aguilera bounced back with the ballad "Beautiful" (Number Two, 2002), co-written by former 4 Non Blonde turned song doctor Linda Perry, followed by "Fighter" (Number 20, 2003), "Can't Hold Us Down, featuring Lil' Kim (Number 12, 2003), and "The Voice Within" (Number 33, 2004). She also collaborated with Missy Elliott on a cover of Rose Royce's "Car Wash" (Number 63, 2004) for the Shark Tale soundtrack, and appeared on Nelly's "Tilt Ya Head Back" (Number 58, 2004). In November 2005, Aguilera married music exec Jordan Bratman and began to tone down her bawdy image.

With Back to Basics (Number One, 2006), Aguilera's persona found a mature middle ground that wore its sexiness lightly. The double CD, with tracks produced by Gang Starr beatmaker DJ Premier as well as contributions from Linda Perry, also found the singer demonstrating her breadth of range, and generated chart-friendly material in "Ain't No Other Man" (Number Six, 2006), "Hurt" (Number 19, 2006), and the Andrews Sisters homage "Candyman" (Number 25, 2007). Aguilera said the album harkened back to the jazz and blues music she grew up with from the 1920s to the 1940s and conjured a retro vibe on her Back to Basics tour.

Aguilera stole the show at the 2007 Grammy Awards with her performance of "It's a Man's Man's Man's Man's World," in tribute to the late James Brown and nabbed a vocal-performance Grammy that year for "Ain't No Other Man." On January 12th, 2008, Aguilera gave birth to her son, Max, in Los Angeles. Aguilera's live collaboration with the Stones on "Live With Me" was featured on Rolling Stones concert film, Shine a Light, released later that year. In November, RCA marked the singer's ten years in the music industry with Keeps Getting Better: A Decade of Hits, including the new single "Keeps Getting Better," which peaked at Number Seven on the charts. In April, 2010, Aguilera will release her fourth studio album, Bionic, featuring production from DJ Premier and collaborations with M.I.A. and Santigold.

Damals fand ich es natürlich der hammer:P Last edited: 08.03.2008 00:02 Member ***** Man kann ja von mir nicht gerade behaupten, ich sei ein Fan der Lady.

Aber trotzdem muss ich sagen, dass ich das ein wirklich gelungenes Stück Musik finde, ihr mit Abstand bester nicht langsamer Titel und um Meilen besser, als alles, was Britney Spears damals machte. Member ****** Einer der besten Songs aus der großen Teenie Welle, die Ende der 90er ja so unglaublich rollte (besonders was weibliche Solisten betraf). Knackiger Dance-Pop, wie ihn Ende der 80er auch Paula Abdul gut über die Bühne brachte, wobei Christina stimmlich natürlich überlegen ist. Mag ich heute noch genauso, wie damals ... Einer der besten Songs des letzten Jahrhunderts, ja vielleicht sogar Jahrtausends. Ich liebe ihn einfach!!!! Christina wunderbar gemacht!!! Langeweile im Quadrat, einmal gehört ist schon genug.

Mein Tip: bei der Wunderlampe als ersten Wunsch bessere Aguilera-Songs wünschen Last edited: 22.05.2004 22:58 Member ****** Ich kann nicht genau sagen warum, aber "Genie in a Bottle" ist bis heute ihr bester Track geblieben! Member ***** Christina has powerful and sexy voice....that's her advantage over colegue Britney....i think this is better start than 'baby one more time'...sensual pop song...#1 in U.S.A in august of 1999 for 4 weeks...pretty good Last edited: 09.08.2004 00:27 da war sie noch auf'm Boden. Höchstnote *** Member ***** solides Debut einer schönen Lady mit zwiespältigem Eindruck, mal seriös mal weniger - der Song überzeugt mich nicht umbedingt, schwanke so zwischen 4 u. 5, aber ich bin ja ein kleiner Xtina-Fan, also 5 Da miemte sie noch das brave Mädchen von nebenan.

Naja...Sex sales - lassen wir das... Den Song fand ich eigentlich ganz gut. Member ***** ihr debüt war noch ganz gut hörbar, mit viel gutem willen geb ich sogar 5* für ihr wohl bestes lied so gefiel mir miss aguilera eigentlich am besten :) starker song, da merkte man, dass sie britney doch überlegen ist nr. 1 für 3 wochen Member ***** tragisch zu sagen, aber bleibt wohl ihr bester song. stimmliche turnübungen sind nicht wirklich nötig, frau aguilera, und ausziehen tut man sich im playboy oder zuhause. pass auf, dass du nicht zur trash-lady wirst! Member **** ich finde auch das britney's debut besser wa! aber genie in a bottle find ich auch gut Member *** Kam zu Platz # 35 in meine persönlichen Charts in September 2000. Hätte ich gewüsst das die Christina eine singende Prostituierte war, hätte ich die Flasche selbstverständlich nie geöffnet. Besser sie war drinnen geblieben ...

Last edited: 09.07.2005 12:58 Member **** Früher war Christina ein nettes braves mädchen und jetzt seht sie aus wie ne nutte, viele piercings an ihren körper und und wie sich kleidet, bin kein fan von ihr. Aber ihre songs gefallen mir und die bilder von ihr das sieht schön aus. Das frühere ich von christina gefiel mir besser als jetzt. Last edited: 23.07.2005 19:31 Member ***** ▓ Einer den Songs von "Christina Aguilera" den von mich den 5 Sterrn bekommt !!! Dieser Platte aus August 1999 stand 16 Wochen in die Holländische top 40 !!! Aber nimmer auf Platz # 1 ??? Platz # 2 war das höchste für "Genie in A Bottle" !!! Die Special Remix bekommt von mir 5 Sterrn !!!

Last edited: 31.10.2006 13:02 Member ***** fand ich damals doof, heute gut und halte es auch für ihr bestes Lied...mag den späteren RnB Style nicht so Member ** Besser als so mancher neuer Song von ihr ... die Stimme war damals einfach noch nicht so nervig. Member ****** Sehr gut. Tolles Debut!!! Genie In A Bottle war in UK 2 Wochen auf Platz 1, insgesamt 24 Wochen(2 Wochen länger als beim Britneys Debut-- in UK meine ich) Zu den Song: Der ist echt schön, besonders die Stelle in der Mitte. Die Idee mit den Geist in der Flasche ist echt süß. Der Clip gefällt mir auch sehr. Klare 6. =) Last edited: 15.01.2006 19:53 Member ***** Mit diesem Song fing ihre steile Karriere an. Guter Pop-Sound mit der starken Stimme von Christina. Hier hat alles gestimmt.

Member **** Stimmlich noch nicht ganz auf der Höhe, kann mit diesem Song bereits eine erste Duftmarke ihrer Größe setzen. Textlich allerdings recht schwach. gute popmusik für 14jährige mädchen Last edited: 14.08.2006 23:21 Member ***** einer ihrer besten songs, für den ich sie bestimmt aus der flasche gelassen hätte - jedoch keine 6 Member ***** schönes Pop-Liedchen. Schade das Christina Aguilera danach von diesem Stil weggeschwenkt ist. Das Gekreische von heute reicht an diese Nummer bei weitem nicht heran. Member ****** Alle die diesem lied eine 1 oder eine andere note auser ne 6 geben haben echt keinen geschmack für musik Member * tut mir echt leid, dass ich nicht denselben geschmack habe wie ihr zwei über mir, aber dieser song ist meiner meinung nach eine einzige katastrophe! zum Glück!!!hab ich kein Geschmack wie der Italiener oben! sonst müsste ich auch diese Grütze hören!

Last edited: 11.09.2006 20:20 Stimmt, schliesse mich meinem Vorgänger an! Diese Tusse ist dermassen gekünstelt, mehr geht nicht... Last edited: 11.09.2006 20:50 Der Text; komisch... Das Lied, cool... Last edited: 11.11.2006 21:52 Staff ***** Mir geht es anders als der musikkritischen Elite, welche Christina A. je älter sie wird, ein besseres Zeugnis ausstellt. Mir als bekennendem Britney-Freund hätte es vollkommen gereicht, wenn sie auch nach der vorliegenden Flaschengeist-Hymne weiter dünnflüssigen Mainstream-Pop serviert hätte, statt die Hörerschaft mit hektischem R'n'B zu beglücken.

Die bange Unklarheit des Zürcher In-Publikums, ob es sich nach Visiten bei Rihanna, den Pussycats Dolls und Beyoncé lohnt, auch bei Christinas Hallenstadion-Gig reinzuschauen, kann hier nicht final bei Seite geschafft werden. Ich weiss nur eins: Ihre Debüt-Single ist cool! Member **** Nervte mich tierisch als er noch neu war - heute, mit etwas Abstand, finde ich ihn gar nicht mehr sooo schlecht! Member **** Deze eerste plaat van Christina heb altijd nog kunnen waarderen. Helemaal niet verkeerd. Maar de platen die hierna kwamen daarvan zijn sommige echt verschrikkelijk. Deze 4 sterren! Member ****** Ziemlich lange her seit diesem Song. Ein wahrlich gelungener Song, klasse Gesang und ein totaler Ohrwurm. Nur die spanischsprachige Version "Genia Atrapado" ist noch einen Tick besser. Last edited: 25.08.2013 20:56 ****** Da war sie noch gut.

Edit: wieso ist das so schlecht bewertet hier? Da hat sie wenigstens mit ihrer (guten) Stimme anständig gesungen.Im Gegensatz zum Geschrei von heutzutage. Last edited: 14.12.2006 11:33 Member **** Den Song habe ich damals geliebt, und Christina, obwohl blond, fand ich auch ziemlich gut (und hab mir sogar das Album gekauft) ... einem Kollegen musste ich damals die Doppelbedeutung der Textzeile "I'm a genie in a bottle, you gotta rub me the right way" erklären ... Was die weitere Entwicklung ihrer Karriere, mit dem sehr sexualisierten Image für das "Stripped"-Album, betrifft, so hat diese bei mir, obwohl männlich, das Gegenteil bewirkt - ich habe jegliches Interesse an ihr bzw. ihrer Musik verloren ... Last edited: 11.11.2012 13:16 Member *** da kam sie also, christina aguilera, der britney-klon.

es folgte eine schlimme ära in der popszene, jessica simpson, mandy moore (die wohl erst später checkte, dass sie schauspielerin ist, wenigstens dort aber nicht so floppte, wie simpson). stimmlich ist dieses "genie in a bottle" bestimmt nicht schlecht, liegt jedoch total unter ihrem niveau. eigentlich schade, hätte sie doch als stimmdiva das terrain betreten können ("reflection" hätte es bei uns auch geschafft, jedoch erst als zweitauskopplung). der song bekommt mit goodwill eine drei, da war britneys debut weder schlechter noch besser.

Biography A leader in the parade of Mickey Mouse Club veterans who stormed pop at the turn of the millennium, Christina Aguilera was the sexy, brassy diva of the bunch -- the Rolling Stones to Britney Spears' Beatles, as it were.

Initially, it was difficult to see Christina outside of the prism of Britney, whose 1999 success launched the new millennium's teen pop boom, but Christina's big hits of 1999 -- "Genie in a Bottle," "What a Girl Wants," "Come on Over" -- more than held their own with "...Baby One More Time," while revealing a vocalist with considerably more power and range than her erstwhile rival. Soon, Aguilera distanced herself from the rest of the teen pop pack beginning with her carnal sophomore set, Stripped, a heavy R&B album from 2002 that found its greatest success with the ballad "Beautiful." Christina may have overemphasized her sexual side with singles like "Dirrtty," but by the time of 2006's Back to Basics, it was clear that Aguilera was the most musically ambitious, and reliable, pop diva of the boom. Born on Staten Island on December 18, 1980, Aguilera spent her early childhood in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. By age six, she began performing regularly in local talent shows, working her way to an appearance on the nationally televised competition Star Search.

This was the true beginning of Aguilera's professional career, leading her to joining Disney Channel's reboot of The Mickey Mouse Club in 1992. Christina joined a cast that also featured future stars Britney Spears, Ryan Gosling, Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, and Keri Russell. The New Mickey Mouse Club lasted for two years and after its cancellation, Aguilera began working behind the scenes of the pop machine, cutting a duet with Japanese pop singer Keizo Nakanishi called "All I Wanna Do," then representing the U.S. three years later in the Golden Stag International Festival. Her first big break arrived in 1998, when she recorded "Reflection" for the soundtrack of Disney's Mulan, a performance that led to a contract with RCA Records. RCA released Christina Aguilera late in the summer of 1999, several months after Britney's "...Baby One More Time" began the teen pop boom. Christina's debut reached the top of the U.S.

charts on the momentum of the number one single "Genie in a Bottle," which was followed in short order by another chart-topper in "What a Girl Wants," which happened to be the first number one of 2000. Aguilera racked up recognition in a number of ways, playing the Superbowl halftime show and winning the Grammy for Best New Artist, as "Come on Over Baby (All I Want Is You)" gave her a third number one single. Aguilera kept new product flowing, too, releasing the Spanish-language Mi Reflejo -- she didn't speak the language, so she learned lyrics phonetically -- and My Kind of Christmas by the end of the year, while other labels attempted to cash in on her success via an unauthorized collection of old demos called Just Be Free. Christina Aguilera drifted down the charts in 2001 but she stayed in the spotlight via her participation of a remake of Labelle's "Lady Marmalade" for the soundtrack of Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge.

When Aguilera resurfaced with new material in 2002, she began using the appellation Xtina, which was not the only "X" on her sophomore effort, Stripped. A carnal collection of risqué R&B largely produced by Scott Storch, Stripped was a defiant break from her teenybopper past, and Aguilera promoted it by flashing lots of skin on the covers of her album, Rolling Stone, and Maxim. Such striking sexuality earned mixed reviews and the lead single "Dirrty" failed to replicate her early success, but she straightened the ship with "Beautiful," a ballad that turned into an anthem of sorts and peaked at number two on the Top 100. Aguilera took another left turn for her next album, 2006's Back to Basics. The title suggested something simple but the album was anything but, spilling out over two discs and running the gamut from brassy swing to modern dance. Its lead single, "Ain't No Other Man," was another blockbuster and Grammy winner for Christina, and the tour was her most ambitious to date.

In 2008, Aguilera released her first hits collection, Keeps Gettin' Better, which was available exclusively via Target in the U.S. After a four-year break, Aguilera returned with her fourth album, Bionic, in the spring of 2010. Bionic earned mixed reviews, with its first single, "Not Myself Tonight," peaking at 22 on the Billboard charts; the album failed to go gold. Next up was Burlesque, Aguilera's first starring role on the big screen, which was greeted to mediocre reviews and lackluster box office. Aguilera rebounded quickly when she signed onto NBC's televised singing competition The Voice.

As one of the four celebrity judges -- the others being Cee Lo Green, Blake Shelton, and Maroon 5's Adam Levine -- Christina found herself on a hit show that elevated her profile and gave her another hit single as Levine's duet partner on Maroon 5's 2011 chart-topper "Moves Like Jagger." The Voice retained its popularity in its second season in early 2012, and Aguilera spent much of the year prepping her fifth album, Lotus, which was released in November 2012. Lotus peaked at seven on the Billboard charts; its lead single, "Your Body," peaked at 34 in the Top 40. Aguilera took a leave from The Voice in 2014 and 2015, concentrating on working on her eighth studio album; she also began a recurring role on ABC's prime-time soap Nashville. In 2016, she released "Change" -- a charity single for the families of the victims of a tragic shooting in an Orlando nightclub -- and sang "Telepathy" for Baz Luhrmann's Netflix series The Get Down. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Top Albums
